au:iMacrram.KRKNS1M HO. fAMRKIA CO., PA.,IKIHAV,JiXKr,, is-.?.I'll k Kepuhlican state convention willl.o hetil at Harrishurti, August :V.A imckak in the Heputilican tariff linesurreil, Satunlay, iu the senate whentt(nr mat tins;, burlap and cotton baggingwere taken off the dutiable and placedon the free list.Tiik price of beef and mutton is goingill '" ,e effeet of the prospective addition to the prolit.-s of the cattle trustnwin out of the tax on hides has onlyincreased their rapacity, which grows bywhat it feeds on. The more plunderthey g't the more they desire.1!gth the state treasurer and auditor general of Pennsylvania agree thatthere is a deficiency in the treasury ofover ", (nut. The Republicans prop'e to cure the deficiency with increased taxation but the people want fewerollices and less salaries.Two jears ago the Republican legislature created a iimulier of new oflices andincreased the salaries of a number ofoil ice holders. This year they are cutting down the appropriations to schoolsand other necessary ins'itutions to footthe bill.The lattst word fram Harrisburg, saysthe Philadelphia .''., is that noeconomy in expenditures will be attempted except the pruning of appropriationsfor the common schools anil publiccharities. The children of the state, thelunatics, the lame, halt and blind areselected as the first victims of administrative recklessness and incapacity. Itis no wonder that the blundering andthieving party which has looted thestate treasury is unwilling to amend theelection laws so as to give the voters oftiie state a fair chance to inilict properI'iistigation !Tmk governor has approved a bill reiiiriug all corKrations to deduct fromthe wages of aliens a sum sufficientto pay the respective amounts of taxesassessed agaiust them. A bill has alsopassed the legislature imposing a tax ofthree cents a day on each unnaturalizedadult male, the tax to be deducted fromtiie wages by employers. These enactments will have one uninteuded effectiu putting a premium upon naturalizations. In the case of unnaturalized citizens now under contract with corporations or private individuals it is doubtful if such legislation can lie enforced.The state are forbidden to pass any lawimpairing the obligation of contracts,l uff rtunately it was net deemed necessary by the makers of the federal constitution to put any bar upon the jtowerof the .-tatis to impair the obligation ofhospitality.Sknatok Stiskmas and RepresentativeReese, of this county, have arrived atthat stage of their political travels wherethey now find themselves letween thedevil and the deep sea. The jieople ofCambria county are dreadfully in earnest in having the salary of their countytreasurer brought down to a sum thatwill, in some fair degree, be commensurate with tiie services and responsibil-iti.-sof that official, while three or fourpeople who make county treasurerswho make senators and make representaiives are equally interested in having the present exorbitant salary remain as it is or would be well pleased ifit could lie increased.If the fake bill for the reduction ofthe salary of the countv treasurer, fathered in the senate by Mr. t ineman andin the house by Mr. Reese, had beent-igned by Governor Hastings these patriots would have been saved a world oftrouble. They could have then gone tothe i opIe with an uncious grace peculiarly their own and pointing with prideto the act of assembly reducing thetreasurer's salary in Cambria county.sed as the tsecial friends of the peop'e, while the next elected county treasurer would have gone into ctlice with acold deck up his sleeve and with a suitin icurt have the ad reducing his salary declared unconstitutional and thecounty to pay the costs.Governor Hastings however blockedthe little game. The bill was so clearlva fake that he had no hesitancy inthrowing it orerboard.As it is now late in the session theprobabiltiy is there will be nothing doneand there may le at least one more goodhaul out of the treasurer's office.Messrs. Stineman and Reese may haveSome trouble explaning to the taxpayers how the trick was worked.t-'e IiatiT Cannon of ITtah intrrw1nr-Hmi May 25 uii amendment to the tariffbill which is likely to make trouble fortli.' Ki publican leaders and which maynreuK flown tne wjoie protective system. The amendment favors the Lubinscheme ;f paying export bounties onfarm products. This scheniw is tinw t.ing pushed vigorously, not only by itsamiier, uavxi L.utin, lint also by theprangos of many states and by tradesunions and ministers. It makes its fightinside the ranks of protection nnd hnalready opened more farmers' eyes toine iouy oi tne system than all of Mietariff reform work that has been doneSenator Cannon told some plain truthsWhen introducing this amendment, Hepoke in part as follows:It was with great surprise, upon an examination of the measure, that I fonudthat the great class of our populationwho have from the beginning not onlysupitfirted the protective tariff party bytheir votes, but have supported the protective tariff principle by their industryfrom the beginning of its operation,were in a Jarpe degree excluded fromany of its benefits. It is, I say. to supply a very patent omission from themeasure as it now stands that theamendment is proved and will be ada le-ateil hero until a vote shall bo hadthereon.The bill as it is offered today affordsno protection to agricultural staples.There is remaining, I presume, no advocate, of tha protective tariff tysteiuw ii will cotitor.il that in this bill" withtl ese inipo-t duties, there is affordedtiny protection or benefit of increasedprice arising from import duties uponai:y of those commodities of which weexport our surplus, nor are there remaining at tho present time in theschool of protection very many menwho will contend and none who willprove that the indirect protection afforded to the farmer by the tariff on manufactured poods is sufficient comjiensation to him for the vast cost entailedupon him iu carrying the protectivetariff system upon manufactured goods.It has become apparent to all thoughtful observers, and certainly it is knownto all who have any direct connectionwith the agricultural industry of theUnited States, that the farmer cannot,and the man who reads him well knowsthat the farmer will not, much longerbear this burden.There are three remedies possible.The second remedy, and one which I,as a believer in protection, would beready to accept rather than to hold toand vote for an inequitable bill, wouldbe absolute free trade, by which thefarmer might buy as cheaply as he iscompelled to sell, and that remedy thiscongress will not seek to enforce. Thereremains, then, but the third the application of an export bounty which shallin a measure give restitution to thefarmer for the higher prices which he iscompelled to pay in protected markets.No proposition based upon the declaration of equal protection to all tho industries of the United States is complete, nor can there be successfullymade a contention that it is just, unlessit gives to the exporter of agriculturalstaples from the United States an equivalent benefit to that given to the manufacturer by the imposition of an importduty.A duty of 25 cents a bushel uponwheat is a delusion and a snare. Thefarmer of the United States gets no benefit from it. The imposition of duty uponcotton, if that were attempted, wouldbe of no value to the cotton producer.Tiie imposition of a duty on rye is of novalue to the farmer of the United States.Every other protected industry has adirect benefit from this tariff, becausewhere we do not produce in the UnitedStates sufficient for our own consumption ami a quautity considerable in extent for export the import duty servesas a means whereby the local producercan enhance tho price to the lqcal consumer. The immediate benefit to the farmerderived from the treasury of the UnitedStates would not be all. For this comparatively small expenditure to him liewould receive for these staples morethan $225,000,000 in higher prices thanhe now receives. It is true that thiswould increase tho price of breadstuff'sto the consumers in the cities, but under the declaration made here todaythat with higher juices the people willbe more able to buy we will have alarger consumption of wheat and wheatflour and other agricultural staples inthe cities of the country than we havenow at the low prices.Mr. Butler Mr. President, the senator from Utah said he was in favor ofabout 1 13,000,000 export duty on w heatat 10 cents a bushel. If we pay au export bounty of 10 cents a bushel, thatwill raise the price of every bushel ofwheat, whether exported or consumedat home, that much, will it not?.Mr. Camion Certainly it will.Mr. Butler Then, for an investmentof 113,000,000, which the governmentwould payout in the shape of au exportbounty, the wheat farmers of the country would get their protection of .?'i0,OUO.OOO or $70, 000,000, would theynot?- Mr. Cannon They would, if therebe any truth in the protective principle.Mr. Butler That would be a verygood investment.Mr. Cannon It would be a very goodinvestment if it were to be made iu behalf of any manufacturing industry orauy trust iu the United States, but anything in behalf of the farmer is lookedupon with scorn ami is considered adoubtful iareptweut by the legislatureof the United States.In addition, Mr. President, it is avery pexir argument, when vou haveN-en robbing some man for years andhe asks you for justice, to say that youironist; ij continue to rcD mm ot moreand say that you do not know whe reyou are going to get the money withwhich to re'Store that which you haveunrighteously taken. It is the very firstduty of the congress of the UnitedStates to provide a bill which shall notonly be honest in its present application, but which shall pay back semieportion of that which has be-en takenIrom the pockets of the toile rs of thislaud.I have talked with the famiers in 20states of the Union since last fall, and Ifirmly I lieve that this tariff will nolonge r endure than until the farme rs ofthe Lnited State s can have a chane-e torevise it at the polls, if you do not giveto them some portion of its bene-fits.The fanner id betiding beneath a burden which he cannot carry longer. Hehas been the backbone eif the? integrityor the L lilted State-s, but there come-s inthe place of the fre-e unit independentfarmer of this country a race of tenantry to reap servile ly where he sowe-dnobly, men who receive their opiniousfrom others instead of giving their owninde pendent voie e at the jolls and iuall their ekrlaratioiis to their fellowmen.The senate of the United States canafford to be absolutely just. I believethe amendment should be adopted.Mr. Chandler May I ask the senatorfrom Utah a question?Mr. Cannon Certainly.Mr. Chandler I heard the senatorspeak of robbe ry a little while ago withrefre-nce to the tariff. Does the senatormean that the farmer has been robbedall these years by the tariff? Is that thosenator's argument?Mr. Cannon Yes, sir, decidedly.Mr. Chandler When did the senatorfirst think that the American tariff system was a roLbery of the fanner?Mr. Cannon Just so soon us the senator gave sufficient attention to the subject to understand the truth of it. I advocated Re publican tariffs as earnestlyand as faithfully in my humble way asthe senator from New Hampshire, and Ibelieved exae tly what I taught.But I am not dispose! any longer toadvocate a system by which one portionof the population is taxed for the benefitof another jiortiou of the population. Ithink that it is unfair to cherish onlyone class, and that the class which hasalready the most power of self protection. If the senator from New Hampshire will go across the plains of Kansas,as I have pom, and across the plains ofNebraska, I believe in him sufficientlyto think he will come back and say thatthis bill is robbery of the Americanfarmer.I have stated that I am in favor of a 'prote-ctive tariff system. I stated thatin the guilelessness of my soul, leing aRepublican, I went out and advocatedthe Republican idea of a protective tariff. I never was brought quite so closeto responsibility concerning it Ufore asI am today. Heretofore I have discussedit on the stump, advocating it in general terms, but as soon as I am couf route dwith responsibility which obliges me tolook more closely into its amplication toall the people I am simply dischareiiurmy duty when I setk to amend thismeasure so that it ahall be honest to all.Washington Letter.Wishing!. m, June 1. 1SH7 Mr.McKinley is a graduate of the Ohioschool of politics, and few slii'ker indiv:.du ds hold diplomas from that source.His trotting out of that new treaty forthe annexation of Hawaii at this time isa very slick a'tenipt to take atlvantage ofbe popularity of the idea of auuexingHawaii to distract public attution fromhis failure t'jannouoce hisOuban policy,in accordance with promises made inhis behalf in congress II 1 1 the peoplenot been clamoring for action towardsCuba it is not likely that the Ha.vaiintreaty would have been hearel from before next winter, notwithstanding thedeclaration of some of Mr. McKinley'sfrienils that it was brought forward toassist the senators to intelligently disposeof the tariff.Although it is well known that manyof tne I emocratie senators favor the ultimate annexation of Hawaii very fewof them have committed themselves onthis new treaty. It is too important ftmatter to be tlecideel on the ppur of themoment, and it will not be surprisingshould the Democrats oppose any attempt to railroad the treaty through thesenate at the present session. Nothingw ill be lost by allowing the treaty to goover to the regular session of congress.Already the question is lieing askeel, whydo so much for Hawaii, several thousand miles away, and nothing for Cuba,which is suffering right at our doors, soto speak. There is some talk about delaying action on the Hawaiian treatyuntil Mr. McKinley agrees to do something for Cuba, which mtny think mustalso ultimately come under the controlof the U. S. in some form or other.Some Democratic senators favor holiling a caucus to elecide just what attitudethey shall take towards the Hawaiiantreaty, but nothing definite has yet ieendetermined upon..senator Tillman has proposed anamemlment to the tariff bill that woulildo more than all the recent attempts torestrict immigration. It provides for ahead tax of $100 on each immigrantand makes it a misdemeanor for anyalien who does not intend to lwcome anAmerican citizen and to remain such toenter the U. S, for the purjtose of engaging an any mechanical trade or manual labor. There is a provision that thehead tax shall cease to be levieel as soonas the I. S. adopts the free coinage ofsilver.Fearing that the antitrust tariffamendment offered by Senator Pettigrew might le adopted on a direct voteSenator Allison, who is in charge of thetariff bill tluring the absence of SenatorAldrich, resorted to a little parliamentary trick to kill it, and succeeded. Hemoved that it be laid on the table anilthe motion was carried by a vote of 35to o'2. Had Senators Morgan and Pettus, the only Democrats who voted forthe motion," voted against it, it wouldhave been defeated by a vote of 31 toR'J and the anti-trust amendment wouldhave been added to the tariff bill. It isbut fair to state that Senators Morganand Pettus stated their opposition to theamendment to be that it would createmore and worse trusts than it would injure existing trusts.Senator Vest gave Senator Allison several blows straight from the shoulder ina few remarks dissecting the figures setforth by Mr. Allison in place of thosesubmitted by Mr. Aldrich when thechange was made in the sugar schedule.Mr. Vest believes that each sugar schedule has been a little letter for the sugartrust than the one it succeedeel, notwithstanding the public howl againstfavoriug this colossal monopoly, and hepresented figures to back his belief. A -cordingto his figures, the present tariffgives a protection on VG-degree sugar of37 cents er hundred pounds; the Dingley schedule 41cents; the Aldrich schedule 4t" cents, and the caucus schedule,afterwards adopted by the senate, 47cents. Thus it is that the Republicansenators who opposeel the Wilson billbecause they said it gave the sugar trusttoo much protection have put themselves on record in favor of giving thetrust exactly ten cents a hundred poundsmore ttian the ilson tariff bill gave itMSix Tliou-iantl killed.rimia, June i:. it is announced today that ovet o,0o0 lives have Ieen lostin the earthquake disturbances whichnave receutly visited the Providence ofAssam.A message of condolence has leen received from tueen Victoria.the most elestructive of recent earthquakes was that which visited Japan iu-November, IS'.ti, hy which KJ.OOO liveswere destroyed and 4tHt,(MK) eople rendcreu homeless.
